link to internal page wordpress

Question

I'm a newbie to wordpress, I added a new page via dashboard, and I want to make a link to this page from the home page so I would love to know what function does that,

I think it would be something like: >LINK

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

You could use

<a href="<?php echo get_page_link( get_page_by_title( PAGE_NAME )->ID ); ?>">Link Title</a>

Where PAGE_NAME is the page title you have set in the dashboard.

get_page_by_title() returns an object and we use get_page_by_title( PAGE_NAME )->ID to return the page ID of that page. Note that it is more consistent to rely on the page title (which you set yourself) against page ID (which is set by wordpress).

get_page_link() retrieves the permalink of that page ID you passed as parameter.
